[QUOTE=Justin99Expo;3724198]Wether it is, or is not a run-ability DTC, or will not noticeably effect operation during a drive cycle, I drove my vehicle and know that it did run differently. Until you come and drive this thing and tell me what exactly to replace do not tell me that it didn't effect the way it ran. It did not miss or bog down going up hills as it did before with the vac line hooked up.

Oh brother -

I'll try to make it MoSimple 4U.

You can remove the entire EGR setup and she'll run just about the same. - We don't NEED them. Anyway, you wouldn't be able to tell.

If you haven't a clue by now, no- I don't give a frog fat *** what you think or what you do anymore. Your just an example that will be future referenced by others. Yea, it's getting somewhat entertaining, -at the same time from statements made, -it's easy to draw on what NOT to do, definitely find whats recommended, how to get the info and so on.. So your not a total waste

So they were worth something after all. .
A little before my time, but yea - I've seen a Vega in the past and it even ran at the time lol.

I owned a Vega back in the late 70's - a Cosworth. Sweet engine in a rotten car.

Oh god no! The Shove-it was even worse! That was based on the Opel Kadette and replaced the Vega.

Love the hammer on the head. Could of used that a time or two. Thanks for the comp, I've worked for some good one's and alot of bad one's and thought when I became one that I would take these experiences and remember how I always liked to be treated. Suprisingly how much work you can get out of someone with the right motivation.
